Another fabulous representation of the colours of fireworks. Fireworks images are not required, but this image along with the colourful PanPastel background captured the amazing wonder of a fireworks display in a great CAS design.

This card is stunning. We loved the use of fireworks colours to create a Christmas card.

The colours chosen are gorgeous and the Glimmer Mist gave it such elegance and sparkle.
